OVERCHECK CROWN-LOOP.

$PECIFICA'I'ION forming part of Letters Patent No. 377,308, datedJanuary 31, 1888.

Application filed November 30, 1887. Serial No. 256,537. (No model.)

' h eadstall, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side view of ourimproved overcheck crown-loop; Fig. 2, an end view of the same; Fig. 3,a view of the under side of the same; Fig. 4, an under side view of aportion of the crown-piece, showing the projecting fastening extensionsof the loop attached thereto; Fig. 5, a crosssection of the crownpieeeand end view of the loop attached thereto.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in all of the figures.

In the drawings, A represents our improved overcheck crown-loop, and Bthe crown-piece of the extensions may be substantially parallel with theunder surface of the loop. The outer angle of each bend c is preferablya little rounded for convenience in passing the bent studs into theholes of the crown-piece. These two extensions are turned in opposite orapproximately-opposite directions and transversely to the length of theloop, as shown. Two purposes are fulfilled by this arrangement of thefasteningextensions-first, by the opposite direction of the fasteningpieces, although on account of the flexibility of the leathercrown-piece both of the extensions can beinserted through the holes ofthe same without diffieulty, yet they cannot be withdrawn by accident;second, by the opposite direction of 5 the extensions, bearing againstthe under side of the crown-piece and transverse to the length of theloop, the said loop is held firmly on the crown-piece and does not rockunsteadily thereon.

We claim as our invention The overcheck crown-loop herein described,having two attaching'studs projecting from its under side respectivelynear its two ends, each stud having a fastening-extension bent abruptlysubstantially at right angles to the stud and transversely to the bodyof the loop, and the two extensions pointing in approximatelyoppositedirections.

In witness whereof we have hereunto signed our names in the presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
